What Your Monogram Says About You

Yes, the decision to place a monogram on your clothing, plus font and thread color, can be viewed as a stamp of personality. But what might the placement of your monogram say about you? We have (very broadly) generalized how a few common monogram locations might shine a little light on what makes their wearer tick.

The Inside of the Suit Jacket
This may hold less clues than the others, as the inside of a suit jacket is typically the only place on a suit where a monogram will appear. But electing for it in the first place shows that you enjoy adding a little extra character to your clothing—even if it’s somewhere few others may see it.

The Bottom of the Shirt Hem
Assuming your tend to wear your shirts tucked, the bottom of the shirt hem is pure stealth. You’re likely someone who enjoys getting dressed, even if there isn’t an occasion or someone else to notice.

The Shirt Cuff
The cuff of a shirt is a somewhat controversial choice, but it exhibits a strong, confident personality. You’ve probably got a great handshake—and those few letters above your wrist only enhance it.

The Back of the Shirt Collar
The subtlest of the subtle. You want to leave your mark on something you value, and don’t need anyone else’s attention to validate it.
